Really refreshing! I pureed the watermelon and then used about 3/4 cup of watermelon liquid per drink. I muddled the cucumber and mint and then added everything else, and strained over ice cubes. I salted the rims on the glasses. Delicious! Next time I will try it with frozen watermelon puree for a frozen drink.

YUMMY! This drink is awesome. I heart all the components and I heart this drink! For the second round of the evening I added a little more tequila and Triple Sec and muddled less of the cucumbers (per a request from my boyfriend) and it was still great. This is totally worth making!

OMG! This is AWESOME and looks FABULOUS!I confess I did "eyeball" a few quantities, but I'm pretty accurate and think I only extra-added watermelon. It's fresh looking and tasting. I will be making pitchers of these in the future for guests (now, why, oh, why did I follow the recipe and only make two???)

I thought this was outstanding. I used a whole small watermelon and made way more than the recipe of the watermelon mixture. Great party beverage! Although, I thought it was also a great vigin drink but not everyone agreed. Might give it 3.5 forks. I saved the leftover mix and tried it with rum the next day - not as good as with the tequila. Oh and to the reviewer from Pittsburg - you are awesome.

These were so good!!
Light and
refreshing, while
having some depth of
flavor. We froze all
the ingredients to a
mush,except the
alcohol/simple
simple.
Then we combined the
mush and
alcohol/simple syrup
in
a glass. Gave the
drink a great
consistency. Some
men may be put off
by the color..but
really not too sweet

This is an amazing margarita. Not only is it pleasing on the palate, it is quite enjoyable on the nose, too. Personally, I'm not a fan of watermelon margaritas, but I can never pass up cocktails infused w/ watermelon and/or fresh mint. This truly won me over to the wonders that fresh watermelon can provide in the cocktail glass.

Absolutely fantastic. Just the most refreshing margarita I could dream up. It's currently 95 degrees in NYC, but I can barely feel it while sipping on this delightful summer cooler. Like the previous reviewer, I prefer to freeze the watermelon and then blend for a thick frozen margarita. Cielo!

After hearing the Bon Appetit podcast of
Magarian talking about his new fruit-herb
margaritas and how to pair them up with
food, I looked up the article ("Margarita
Madness") and recipes, and decided to
do a DIY gourmet pizza and margarita
party. I set up a bar with stations for the 4
kinds of drinks, each with a little table tent
with the recipe printed on it, a muddling
glass and pestle, and bowls of chopped
fresh fruits and herbs from the farmers'
market. Guests had tons of fun reading
the cards and collaborating on their next
drinks. All were delicious (the herbs really
bring out the brightness of the fruit and
good quality liquor!), but the subtle,
complex freshness of the watermelon-
cucumber-mint was by far the crowd
favorite. NOTE: You don't need
nearly the amount of watermelon the
recipe suggests. I made mint simple
syrup to reduce the amount of fresh mint
needed. I also froze some of the chopped
watermelon for those who wanted frozen
margaritas - an easy and flavorful
substitute for ice.
